| In the Marxist ideological system,especially in the historical materialism,Marx and Engels’ labor thought plays a very fundamental role.In the expression of Marx and Engels,the concept of labor mainly has two meanings: one is the concept of labor in the humanistic sense.Labor in this sense is the self-expression form of man,which defines the essence of man and distinguish people from animals;the second is the concept of labor under specific production relations.As an activity of exchanging material energy between man and nature,labor takes different forms and characteristics in natural economy and commodity economy.Meanwhile,the labor thought of Marx and Engels contains rich theoretical content.It points out that labor is the essential activity and mode of existence of human beings;it is the fundamental prerequisite for the presence and expansion of society;the source of value is and can only be human labor,and in the capitalist methods of manufacturing,the labor of workers to create value is controlled by capitalists.Free possession;in this production relationship based on capitalist private ownership,the labor of laborers becomes alienated labor;to create a better life,the future society should abandon labor alienation and realize labor liberation,that is,realize the transformation of alienated labor into human free and autonomous activities.Marx and Engels’ labor ideology is no more than a theoretical implement for criticizing capitalism and analyzing social history,but also a value orientation and spiritual guidance.At present,this idea is still our theoretical guide for understanding labor,promoting labor development and labor emancipation,giving enlightenment to us.We should make the labor ideology of Marx and Engels as the instruction,social subjects should vigorously promote labor education,cultivate new socialist laborers with a scientific view of labor,give full play to the labor creativity of laborers,and innovate labor with labor.Ultimately,the enterprises,the goverrment and society sh-ould create social conditions to promote the transformation of labor into autonomous activities of human beings,to prepare for the emancipation of labor and the overall emancipation of human beings. |
